[0:00] Please. Sir. Yes. Yes. No, no, no. The gentleman right here. The very tall gentleman who's very insecure. He doesn't want to ask the question. He's a handsome guy, but he's very insecure. Go ahead. Do you want to shout it out? Give him a mic. How about giving him a mic? He shouted it.
[0:19] The war seems to be a strategic dead end for you. Why are you apparently unable to end the Iran war?
[0:36] So I think we're doing just the opposite. The Iran war has been a tremendous military success. And, you know, I can only answer the question by saying they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. I think it's been I was there for one reason that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
[0:52] I call it we denuclearize Iran. And that's happened. They will never have a nuclear weapon. That stuff is so far down under a mountain. It's a granite mountain that collapsed on top of it. Take months to get it out.
[1:06] But I think it's a tremendous success Iran. And you see the oil prices are lower than they were when I started. And people like to say that. But look, they have no military left. Their air force is gone.
[1:19] As I said, their ships are gone. 159 ships are gone. They're at the bottom of the sea. Their radar is gone. Everything's gone.
[1:26] So when you say not a success, it's a tremendous success. The fake news likes to say how well they're doing. They're doing terribly. They have 350 percent inflation.
[1:35] When the war started, they had like six percent, five percent. They have they want to make a deal, but they don't know how to make a deal.
[1:42] And then they go around shooting ships at night. I don't like that. You know, they're dealing with very fine people.
[1:48] They're dealing with Steve Whitcoff. They're dealing with Jared Kushner and J.D. Vance.
[1:52] And they're dealing with Marco and Scott. They're dealing with great people. But I don't know. I think they're a little loco.
[2:00] They're a little crazy. But they told us they'd like to go to the funeral. Funeral of a very person who was killed a lot of people.
[2:14] Khomeini killed a lot of people over the years and there for a long time.
[2:19] Don't forget what we did should have been done 47 years ago. It could have been done any time within 40.
[2:24] This has gone on for they were the bully of the Middle East. So they're a much different country now in one day.
[2:31] All of their anti aircraft things are gone. That doesn't mean they're not going to get a plane at some point, but all of it's gone.
[2:40] Everything's gone. Their leaders are gone. They had leaders. They're gone. And they had another set of leaders.
[2:45] They're gone. Now they have another set of leaders. They may be gone. Who knows?
[2:49] And you know what? I may be gone too. Because I'm their number one target. It's out all over the place.
[2:56] I'm their number one. Because they're scum. That's the way they act. And that's the way they've done it for 47 years.
[3:02] But I'm doing what's right for the country. I'm doing really what's right for the world. They have to be stopped.
[3:06] And they've killed thousands, hundreds of thousands of people.
[3:10] They killed 52,000 protesters over the last three months. So when you say we're not doing well, I think we're doing phenomenally well.
[3:18] Our military has been incredible. Plus we had a blockade. Did we have a blockade? Did you ever see a blockade work that way?
[3:24] You know, for you that said we're not doing well there. We did great in Venezuela. That was a one day war.
[3:30] And they're very good military. It's a very military country. We took out one of the worst human beings in the world, Maduro.
[3:39] And he's in jail waiting for trial. But what he did to this country was incredible, including the fact not only the drugs, but he had people pour into the country from prisons.
[3:49] They opened up their prisons. They allowed them to come in. We're getting them out. We're getting them all out.
[3:54] But we have with the Biden open border policy with Kamala, as your borders are. Remember, she was a border, but she never called Border Patrol never once.
[4:03] And she never went to the border. The border was a disaster. Now it's fixed. It's fixed where we have nobody.
[4:10] And I don't I don't do these numbers. Zero people come in through our border, through our southern border. Zero.
[4:17] And that's been announced now every month for the last 12 months. Zero.
[4:21] We had millions of people come in under 25 million people. I think more than that under Biden.
[4:27] And they weren't people that you want. And for the most part, they were drug dealers.
[4:32] They were escaped from. Think of it. All the prisons. And I'm not just talking about from South America.
[4:38] I'm talking about from the Congo. I'm talking about from all over the world. The prisons were emptied out.
[4:43] They were emptied out into our country, but they had the worst murderers.
[4:48] They had to. We had people allowed in our country that should never. And they walked in through an open border policy.
[4:56] And all I'm saying is that you're lucky we won this election. Yeah, please.
[5:00] Go ahead. Go ahead. No. Yes. Go ahead.
